Madhuri
Dixit
Prem
Pratigya:
It
was
not
easy
for
Madhuri
Dixit
to
achieve
the
position
she
proudly
claims
now.
Known
as
the
'Dhak-Dhak'
girl
of
Bollywood,
the
evergreen
diva
has
over
the
years
captivated
the
entire
nation
with
her
on-screen
charisma.
Be
it
her
powerful
performances
or
vivacious
smile,
Madhuri
is
still
the
most
loved
actress
of
all
time.
What's
less
known
is
that
there
was
a
period
in
her
acting
career
when
she
was
compelled
to
enact
a
rape
sequence.
Like
many
female
celebrities,
Madhuri
too
had
to
face
a
few
unpleasant
situations
that
left
her
furious
and
helpless.
Recently,
an
old
tweet
from
2017
resurfaced
online
where
a
netizen
wrote
about
veteran
actor
Annu
Kapoor
narrating
how
Madhuri
was
forced
to
perform
a
rape
scene
in
1989
film
Prem
Pratigya.
Madhuri
Dixit
was
forced
to
do
a
r*pe
scene
with
Ranjit
in
Prem
Pratigya
In
an
old
episode
of
Annu
Kapoor's
radio
show,
"Suhana
Safar
with
Annu
Kapoor," the
host
recounted
an
anecdote
involving
Madhuri
Dixit.
He
mentioned
that
Madhuri
was
compelled
to
perform
a
rape
scene
with
Bollywood's
famous
villain,
Ranjit.
When
Madhuri
expressed
her
concerns,
the
director
told
her
that
she
cnnot
not
quit
it
now.
A
Twitter
user
raised
concerns
about
the
episode,
highlighting
that
Annu
Kapoor's
narration
appeared
to
be
insensitive
and
sensationalised
the
incident
rather
than
focusing
on
the
underlying
issue.
The
internet
user
added
that
the
entire
crew
had
clapped
for
the
actress
after
the
scene,
who
was
too
shaken
at
that
moment.
To
even
utter
a
word.
The
tweet
read:
"Annu
Kapoor's
tone-deaf
narration
made
the
incident
a
juicy
tidbit,
not
the
disgusting
exploitation
it
was.
While
me
and
my
friend
cringed
and
felt
deeply
uncomfortable,
our
cab
driver
thought
it
was
hilarious
and
laughed
at
the
"rape
scene
toh
hoga"
punchline."
Check
out
the
other
parts
of
the
tweet.
Talking
about
the
Prem
Pratigya,
it
featured
Madhuri
Dixit,
Mithun
Chakraborty,
and
Vinod
Mehra
in
the
lead
roles.
Ranjit
played
a
negative
character.
Reports,
meanwhile,
claim
that
Ranjit
had
tightened
his
grip
around
Madhuri,
which
left
her
trembling.
The
diva
was
then
left
infuriated,
and
she
yelled
at
Ranjit
in
front
of
everyone,
warning
him
not
to
touch
her
again.
